Rrahmani defends his warning to Lang: he threatened the referee
The Napoli captain explains the 1-1 draw with Lazio and admits he told Noa Lang to calm down after his booking, when he was arguing with the referee.
After the 1-1 draw with Lazio, Napoli captain Amir Rrahmani spoke to DAZN and argued that his side was better in the second half and could have won: for him, the details decided the match. Being captain, he said, is a privilege.
On the row with Noa Lang, Rrahmani said the Dutchman, already booked, was threatening the referee, so he told him to be careful. With ten players, he added, the game would have become very difficult.
The context is delicate: according to TuttoMercatoWeb, Lang was booed at the final whistle, and earlier he had pointed to his ear at the fans who were whistling him. Napoli came into the match on a two-game losing streak and sit 11th in Serie A.
Rrahmani called on everyone to do more: Serie A is getting stronger and Napoli have tough games ahead.
